The AFL's new short-high intensity format of the game, AFLX, will debut on February 15 next year.
The League has revealed that the competition will take place during pre-season in three cities across three nights.
Adelaide will host the first round-robin at Hindmarsh Stadium the week before the JLT Community Series commences. The second night will be at Etihad Stadium on February 16, with the third at Allianz Stadium on February 17.
There will be three pools with each pool playing on a different night.
Pool A, Hindmarsh Stadium, Thursday February 15

Pool B, Etihad Stadium, Friday February 16
Carlton, Essendon, Hawthorn, Melbourne, North Melbourne, St Kilda.

"Teams in the same pool will play against each other once, with the top team from each pool facing off in a Grand Final," AFL.com.au reports.
"Games will consist of two 10-minute halves with a two-minute break at half-time.
"AFLX will be played on a rectangular field with dimensions similar to that of a soccer field, with 10 players per team.
"It is a seven-a-side format with three players on the bench and there is no limit to rotations."
